Jovan Obican (1918-1986)
Jovan Obican was born in Cannes, France, of Yugoslavian parents. He was painter and sculptor. best known for his depictions of folk art and traditional costumes rendered in a playful, childlike style. He often used brilliant bright, bold colors and black outlines in his renderings of figures and animals, giving his work an illustration-like quality. He was known for his colorful naïve paintings of folk people, which were heavily influenced by the Jewish Culture
He showed an interest in art at a very young age, later becoming a successful artist. Obican wanted to be a lawyer but he never completed the proper training. Instead, he moved to the United States in 1959 and pursued a career in the arts. Over the course of his career, the artist maintained a studio in Boca Raton, Florida and Dubrovnik, Croatia— part of former Yugoslavia— where he developed an interest in Eastern Europe's Jewish culture. Many of his mature works depict Jewish traditions and ceremonies, including traditional Jewish weddings, the dancing of the Hora, and traditional music. The Obican Art Museum was founded in 1972 as a private institution for preserving, showing and publishing the artwork of the Obican family. The institution is registered in Europe. Obican died in 1986 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
